Hmm......I was just too lazy and busy for da past few months and so happened that 2 days back, I was in a mood to bake! Hohohoho....checked my cabinet and saw that there was a packet of self-raising flour and there after, I searched through my recipe book and taaadaaa, I'd decided to bake Cafe Espresso Cake. Here's da recipe:-
